Only a few, however, can overcome their fear an We live our days completely ignorant of the true terrors lurking around us.

Only a few, however, can overcome their fear and dare to look deeper. The World of Darkness Rulebook introduces a version of our contemporary world where the supernatural is real. Players join to tell tales of mystery and horror, where theme, mood and plot are more important to a character s experiences than his weapons or equipment.
